Hey HN: Stephen from Lambda Labs here. Here's the link to the github repo if anybody wants to port this to something other than OS X. Ideally it would implement PTP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_Transfer_Protocol) instead of using `adb pull`.

Hmm, so it pulls the photos from the Google Glass regularly from the device over the Android Debug Bridge. Why not just use the Google APIs to get them after they enter the Instant Upload folder on the web? You wouldn't need debugging mode enabled then.

This way, they never hit a web server. Thus, it's significantly more secure.

Awesome...look forward to giving it a try!

I started to play with a similar (although somewhat less automated approach) thing here: http://glass.bluer.com

Combining with other sources (Memoto, phone cameras, etc) could be interesting too.

What kind of impact does this have on battery life? How long will it go on a charge?

Hmm, "Service Temporarily Unavailable" from http://www.stephenbalaban.com/google-glass-lifestream .

Maybe it is regular screenshot pulls from your Google Glass put together into a diary of sorts? Microsoft actually has a lot of good work on this, they had a wearable recording pendant in their labs for a while.

Fixed.

Black Mirror S01E03: The Entire History of You was a pretty decent episode of a Twilight-Zone-like show about the dark side of having a video recording of your entire life.

Never heard of this series before so I googled it. Fun fact: according to a source on wikipedia Robert Downey, Jr. has optioned the episode The Entire History of You, to potentially be made into a film by Warner Bros. and his own production company Team Downey.

It seems that the site is under a heavy load.
